FINDINGS: Between Dec 22, 2010, and March 14, 2012, we randomly assigned 139 patients each to the vildagliptin and placebo groups. 37 (27%) of 137 patients in the placebo group achieved their individualised targets by education and interactions with the study team alone and 72 (52.6%) of 137 patients achieved their target in the vildagliptin group (adjusted odds ratio 3.16, 96.2% CI 1.81-5.52; p<0.0001).
